“My wife and I use Care Connect often, as she has been falling quite a lot lately. I couldn’t be without them because they arrive very quickly. If it wasn’t for Care Connect my wife and I might be in hospital as we have nobody else. They help us tremendously, they are excellent”.

• reassurance calls

• additional or lost pendants

• monitored smoke detectors

• fall detectors

• epilepsy sensors

Rest assured, Care Connect will have an option to help.
